Episode 268 - Erin Brockovich

(Deep Dive beings at 16:55)

"They're called boobs, Ed." Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian and Megs (B-Tech Kev & Liam are off investigating contaminated water) – as we head to the world of legal battles, corporate corruption, and powerhouse performances in Erin Brockovich (2000). We’re trading in our Edinburgh flat for a tiny law office and diving into our 268th episode as we discuss:

How Julia Roberts delivers a career-defining performance. The film’s balance of drama, humor, and real-world impact. Was Albert Finney the perfect counterbalance to Erin’s fiery personality? Which actor really didn't capture the essence of the part for one of us How accurate is the film’s portrayal of the real-life case? Would this movie work as well if it weren’t based on a true story? Does Erin Brockovich deserve to be correct every step of the way? Did George deserve better? What about the real life Jorge? We talk about love languages, princesses, and saying goodbye to a friend Whether Erin Brockovich is the Best Film Ever.
